Pyrogurl is a registered superhero in Paragon City in the City of Heroes MMO.
Character History
Krystalyn Romanna is the daughter of Lou and Tessa Romanna, longtime employees of the commercial superhero organization known as Hero Corps. When it was revealed that Krystalyn was born a mutant, she was put on a fast-track training program in hopes she would quickly master her abilities. She became a member of Statesman Scouts and was the youngest person to reach the level of Sentinel, the highest rank in the organization.
When her parents were temporarily assigned to the Hero Corps branch in Boston, Krystalyn was allowed to stay with her grandmother just outside of Paragon City. Being so close to the legendary "City of Heroes" continually fueled Krystalyn's dreams of one day being a superhero and following in the path of her personal icons such as Galatea Powers and specifically Ms. Liberty, whose own childhood exploits led Krystalyn to believe that she could also kick-start her career. To that end, she asked her parents to sponsor her in Hero Corps Reserve training, which they reluctantly agreed to in order to keep her just busy enough to not consider going to Paragon City.
Her grandmother, on the other hand, hated everything about superheroes. She felt that Krystalyn should have a normal childhood, even though the pre-teen's developing mutant abilities made that impossible. She signed Krystalyn into a day camp program, that, unbeknown to Lou and Tessa, was really designed to dissuade mutants from using their abilities. Once Krystalyn realized the anti-mutant indoctrination being spread, she realized she couldn't be there.
Thus she hatched a plan that would allow her to get some on-the-job experience as a superhero and avoid the day camp. She would change busses at the bus station, and would arrive at Paragon City. Using an automated registration kisok and some tricks she picked up from Hero Corps Reserves, she managed to get a full Hero ID card under the codename Pyrogurl.
Unfortunately, her first meeting with Ms. Liberty proved to be a disappointment, as the Vindicator leader dismissed Pyrogurl as being a child playing hero. Her first meeting with Antonio Nash at G.I.F.T. was equally discouraging, although he did give her an assignment when he realized she would simply create trouble on her own.
During her first assignment, she encountered members of the Hellions and was seriously injured. Fortunately Ms. Liberty had asked Maximus Rex to look in on the young hero, and he managed to teleport her to the infirmary of the Guardians of the Dawn. After speaking with her parents in Boston, Maximus offered Pyrogurl limited membership in the Guardians as an intern, being assigned to work with seasoned heroes during the day but still having to return to her grandmother's house by nighttime. She eagerly accepted.
Powers and Abilities
Pyrogurl's primary ability is Fire Control. She can manipulate fire around others to detain or incapacitate.
Her secondary ability is Thermal Radiation, which gives her the ability to protect or to heal others using heat.
Due to her young age, she does not have full access to her abilities.
